About the Technology
Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.
Persistence—the ability of data to outlive an instance of a program—is central to modern applications. Hibernate, the most popular Java persistence tool, offers automatic and transparent object/relational mapping, making it a snap to work with SQL databases in Java applications.
